Restaurants near Turner Lake Fen Nature Preserve

Our waitress couldn’t have been better!!! All of the waitstaff was exceptional… The Pork Chop Bites appetizer was so good - I think I’ll have to order the pork chop entree next time. The medium-rare Crusted Prime Rib (Thursday Special) was wonderful. Loved the Grilled Brussel Sprouts side and the Banana Foster deserves a 15 out of 10! It is flamed at the table, it looks HUGE, and I was left wanting more when I was finished [almost licked the plate ;-)]. Excellent dark roast coffee that could be tamed with cream or sugar, but black is perfect with dessert. We arrived at 7:30 with the restaurant 1/3 occupied, and the noise was unbelievable! I could hardly hear my guest and waitress. By 8:15, it was getting easier to hear across the table, and by 9:00 the noise level was relaxing. Poor acoustical design of the building? Be prepared for $130+/per person without drinks… The food experience is worth the splurge on a special occasion!

Our server, Amanda, is the best! My friend and I meet at your restaurant every few months, always sit at the same booth in the bar, and we’ve been lucky enough to have Amanda as our server. She is so pleasant and attentive but also leaves us to visit and talk at our leisure. I look forward to many more wonderful lunches with my friend with Amanda as our server.

Everything was perfect! Owners Steve and Dwayne were personable and engaging sharing their story. Will return again and again!

Server wasn’t impressive and took awhile, but was good, just not great. They need to add some sound deadening materials to their restaurant, it’s very loud and has a lot of echos. Steaks were great. Drinks were great. Creme brûlée was terrible and didn’t even ha e vanilla beans in it at all, but was recommended by the server. The chocolate mousse was incredible!!!

This is a great place to eat. The food was excellent and the environment was upbeat and fun. Good drinks too !
